It's been seven days since the city got covered by the mysterious formation.
The cultivators cheered in a sign of victory, their faces full of tears. They had already accepted the fact that they were going to die, and they didn't expect that things would turn this way in the end. All those present raised their heads and looked at White Auction Hall, their saviour. This is the last day, after that they will finally get their freedom. Everyone is happy in the city , everyone except one.
Tyler White who is almost turned into a dragon. In Hindsight, he should have removed the scales and tried the Elemental Body Refining Method. Still, there was no point in crying over spilled milk. Now that he had chosen this path, he would have to go through it even if it was full of thorns.
Tyler looked at the girl who was standing beside him anxiously.
"Boss White. What should we do now?" Xiaomei asked.
Tyler has no idea what to do. All he could do was sigh. Because of his greed in Cultivation he lost his human form. At this time, he was continuously wondering about how to live as a dragon.
Even though there is no hope, Tyler is swimming inside the tub full of antidotes.
"Should I go to Endless Darkheart Thicket and survive with demon beasts? I don't even know their language." Tyler couldn't help but let out another sigh.
"Is it because you consumed Antidotes, and became immune to it?" Xiaomei couldn't help but wonder.
But Tyler can feel that his body underwent change because of carelessly practising the Elemental Body Refining Method.
"Boss, can I leave?" Xiaomei asked.
"You already know the answer." Tyler smiled and said.
She can't leave, she witnesses that Antidote is not working on Tyler anymore. Tyler doesn't believe her that much. What if she snitched on him?
What if these righteous disciples tried to kill the dragon monster (him) in the name of justice?
Because of these worries, he didn't dare to let her leave.
Suddenly the whole building shook, not only the building but the whole city. The formation collapsed.
Loud Cheers resonated throughout the city. Everyone shouted 'White Auction Hall' 'White Auction Hall'.
"Impossible!" A loud noise followed by dragon voices resonated and everyone in the city felt dizzy.
Before Tyler could understand what was going on, Xiaomei fainted in the room and a Transparent ghost-like entity entered the room phasing through the wall.
"Ghost?"

Let us go back in time. Day 6 at the top of Jade Dragon Mountain, the fierce battle is still going on. But the one in losing ends are the three elders from the sect.
But the tides suddenly turned when they got four new reinforcement from their respective sects.
The City Lord turned into a full fledged red fierce dragon and faced seven of them.
This time the battle ended the next day. Because the City Lord can't keep up with the seven of them.
He quickly activated the formation.
"Quick stop him. He is gonna absorb all mutated dragon blood energy from both forest and city. It is connected to something below this main formation." The Formation Master shouted.
But they couldn't get closer to the formation because the City Lord is blocking them with fire.
"Quick. Fairy Ember Fox breaks that line which is connected to the city." The Formation Master said.
"As expected, the Formation Master you saw threw the Linked connection to the city." The City Lord didn't even panic.
The Formation Master has a bad feeling. Before he could say anything Fairy Ember Fox summoned a fire whirlpool and destroyed the area that formation master pointed.
Suddenly, the formation that connected to the Endless Darkheart Thicket Forest shined brightly and a large amount of mutated dragon blood was absorbed into the main formation and entered into the Giant Egg.
Other Cultivators began to notice the egg.
"Dragon Egg?" Daoist Sword Seeker shouted in astonishment, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes. Not only him, everyone had eyes on the dragon egg.
Before they could even reach near the dragon egg, it suddenly disappeared after absorbing all the energy from the formation.
"Womp Womp '' The City Lord in full Dragon form said with a laugh and it flapped its wings and flew towards the city.
After that the formation in the city broke. The people cheered in joy.
"Impossible!" The dragon shouted in surprise. According to its calculation the people inside the city should already be mutated and devouring each other, making concentrated Blood and he would eat that person to get back his strength. But the people in the city are all clean without any mutation.
Wait, Not all. He could sense one lonely half mutated dragon somewhere. Suddenly some rays of light, fire and swords all fell on his body. Due to his mind getting distracted he got attacked by the pursuing enemies.
He let out a roar of pain. He is already at limit. So he abandoned the body and his nascent divinity flew out. The Nascent Divinity carried a small ring and flew towards the city and disappeared.
"We Finally defeated the Fallen Immortal Dragon." Daoist Sword Seeker shouted as he was telling everyone in the city. He wanted to see everyone praising him. But all he heard was 'White Auction Hall' 'White Auction Hall'. Cheers for some unknown second rated auction hall?
He got depressed. But Ember Fox didn't mind him and launched a Black Fire Ball towards the escaping Divinity.
The City Lord's Nascent Divinity that looked like a ghost Dragon got hit by the fire. His Nascent Divinity got injured, "Tsk Didn't expect that little fox to have Netherflame with her." The City Lord murmured and divided into the sea of people and disappeared.
"Did he escape?" One of the men in that group asked.
"For now. But getting injured by my Netherflame He won't be able to possess anyone's body." She said confidentiality and began to inspect the dragon corpse. Everyone followed her.
The City Lord entered the White Auction Hall. He noticed two aura's inside a room. He made a small gesture in his hand and made the female human faint.
Then he appeared before the only mutated guy in the city.
"Ghost?" Tyler shouted in panic.
"Ghost Your head." The transparent Dragon said, "Don't you know that when a Cultivator reaches Nascent Soul Realm they create a Nascent Soul and above that level is Nascent Divinity. What you are seeing is Nascent Divinity."
"What do you want?" Tyler asked by stepping back.
The Dragon noticed the Tub full of Antidote Liquid.
"I see. So you can't avoid the mutation even with the antidote. Wait, how did you even get many antidotes?" The Dragon asked with confusion. He just gave everyone two antidotes and the fact that he hid some in the city is a lie.
"I don't know. Someone from Dragon Phoenix Auction Hall Ximen gave free antidotes to everyone." Tyler said innocently.
"I see... Whatever it looks like they found the antidote by research or something. Hmph Because of him all of my plans got ruined. If I had my old power I will burn him in a grill with my dragon fire." Even though there are many loopholes in what Tyler said, He decided not to dwell on these matters.
Tyler just smiled and wiped the non existent sweats.
"Looks like you can't change back into a human. I can help you" The dragon said.
"Senior Dragon, what do you need?" Tyler asked. He knows that nothing is free in this world.
"Good. I like it. Simple and Straightforward." The dragon praised and continued telling his story.
He was an Immortal Dragon from the Upper Realm who had fallen in this world many centuries ago. He was wounded severely and was on the verge of dying. He buried himself in the nameless mountain along with his descendant egg. After many years, a Cultivator found his body, but he didn't know that the residual soul of Dragon is still inside the Body. So the residual soul possessed that Cultivator. And then he created the city and spreaded a Myth to attract people. He became the city lord and arranged an ancient formation for years.
But not everything goes according to plan, his attempt failed because the people in the city didn't go under mutation. The Dragon Plan simply was to make Humans in the city and Beasts in that forest to get mutated in dragon mist which is created from the blood of my previous body. He gave all them a limited amount of antidotes and to make them kill each other due to greed and fear of death. But it failed.
Tyler who heard the story mouth twitched he absolutely cannot tell him that he was the one who ruined his plan.
"After getting attacked by those all Cultivators. Now that all I left is Nascent Divinity. So let me borrow your body." The Dragon said with a serious expression and a formidable pressure pressed against Tyler.
